Day 13- A Fictional Book

I have been thinking a lot lately about how lucky I am that I grew up so close to DFW, one of the biggest metroplexes in the country.  I think about my friends I met in Oklahoma, who would have to take a day off and drive an hour just to go to the mall, where as I have around 5 within a thirty minute drive of here. I am so fortunate. I started thinking about all this on my drive to school the other day. I drive by The Ballpark and Cowboys stadium every day to and from school. It is so crazy to think that in a few months the Superbowl will be in my backyard. How many people can say that? so cool.

Other than that school is school. Classes are going well, however I am ready to really get in to my major classes and not take any more gen-eds.


Im sure most people have heard about this but there was a shooting at the UT-Austin campus yesterday. College shootings are always scary, but this one hit home even more because a) I go to a UT satellite school and b) I know a lot of people that go there. It got me thinking how I would react if I got an email or text saying the campus was on lockdown. I honestly think I would freak out and not even know what to do. Its scary that we even have to worry about these things these days. When I walk on any college campus I have a sense of security because you are surrounded by other college students like you, or so I think. What is there to stop crazy people from walking around the campus? just something to think about.





Day 13- A Ficitional Book

I don't really read many fictional books, but this was my favorite book (and movie) that I read in school.

And fun story, when Louis Sachar was writing this book I was in 4th grade and he came to talk to us at Rasor. He read the first chapter of this book that he had just written. Pretty cool to think now.

peace.
